Hi all,

I've been getting my feet wet with FG for about a week now, splurged and bought the FG License and an adventure module last night (Legacy of the Crystal Shard). I'm mostly interested in using FG for a Tabletop tool as a DM. I really like the way you can organize a complete story and create encounters and npcs. All of my DM duties revolve around actual tabletop scenarios, so physical maps are a must for our group. So, my question is: Where the heck are all the image files for the Battlemaps and maps for the adventure module I bought? I'd like to print them so we can play, but have spent nearly 4 hours pulling my hair out trying to find them.

If anyone could take pity on an old DM, I'd be willing to sing your praises (for whatever that's worth) :)

Thanks all.

The maps are stored in the encrypted content vault, which you can't access.

The best you can do is take a screenshot of the map with something like the Windows snipping tool, or press the PrtScrn key on your keyboard and edit the resulting FG screenshot .PNG file created in the FG App Data directory (get to this directory by clicking the folder icon in the top right of the main FG launch screen).

Well that's rather disappointing. :( Thank you for the quick reply.

Welcome to the forums, and why not use FG itself (https://imgur.com/gallery/FJN4B) as the map?

There's a few player made resources available for this too: https://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?469003-Legacy-of-the-Crystal-Shard-Minis-Maps-and-Stuff
